No reading by the gas connection of the H-FAC. We're checking over here by the full bumps in the full heater. All right. Is there an actual propane tank down there? I don't believe so. It looks like it's piped in from the outside on the Delta side of the house. There's couple regulators here.

All right. It's going to be closer to the rear of the house or midway. Negative readings on the floor gas meter, negative odor, negative on the sniffer. We've pretty much used the snipper on trying to trace most of the gas lines down here. We've got nothing back out if that's right with you.
01:22
Yeah, come on up. We're going to have you give one of your C.O. monitors to the firefighter out here. He's going to walk inside the house, just out of caution. Scott, you're working our way out.

Deputy so far nothing on the first floor. Nothing. Nothing. 23 to 21, or the deputy. So any way we could bring the snipper out back.

I'm going down with a scamfer now. Highest percentage was 0.1%. All right. 1.1% on the fence it, or C.F? On the scamfer. Copy.

23 defense is coming back to you now once you check what you want to check shut that tank off got me

We're still getting a bit of an odor here. We're shutting the underground propane tank off at number 114. The owner is now here. They are calling 4s, but if you would, call 4s and tell them to come out here and check for a leak in the north to fire it back up if they don't see anything. Anthony, tank secure.
